Option 3 – Closure of Parkdale and retention of Beechgrove as Residential facility with 30 replacement beds commissioned externally from the independent sector.

Option 4 – Closure of Beechgrove and retention of Parkdale as Residential and Intermediate Care facility. This option would keep Parkdale open and use part of its facility as an Intermediate care unit.

According to Review of Residential Care, “Option 4 scored highest based on the combined quality and financial appraisal and this is now being recommended to the IJB for approval.” Approval of this option would mean the closure of Beechgrove Care Home with residents being found alternative accommodation locally.

No final decision will be taken until the meeting of the Integration Joint Board on Friday but this information must leave those with loved ones in Beechgrove wondering what happens next.

The initial proposal is to make savings by to consider closing two care homes. Meanwhile, It has caused a row over Perth & Kinross Council’s spending spree project lighting that brought in 50,000 visitors to the fair city last year and is set to cost around £12m based over a six-year period carried out by a Lancashire-based company called LITE Ltd.

Councils do not have full control over budget separations but the community have urged the council to consider financial negotiations and agreements.
